Come on, Your Highness

Today, the gate of Duke Wei's mansion was wide open, and the servants stood on both sides to welcome Zhuangyuan Lang back from parading the street.

This is a big event, as long as the collateral families of the He family are in the capital, they rushed here one after another.

The state of Wei made the ancestral hall public.

Holding three sticks of incense in He Xichao's hand, listening to Wei Guogong's tribute to the ancestors of the He family, his eyes could not help but fall on the He Yu memorial tablet in the corner.

For so many years, He Yu's voice and smile have become somewhat blurred, but he still remembers the kindness to him.

I don't know if He Yu is a good son, but he is indeed a good father and husband.

Today, he can be regarded as comforting his father's spirit in heaven.

After Wei Guogong finished reading his speech, He Xichao knelt down and kowtowed three times.

In the evening, Xiyuan will give Qionglin a banquet, and there is still some time at this time.

He Xichao went back to An Yunxuan and changed his clothes. His red flower and red silk had been taken off when he entered Wei Guogong's mansion, but when Xia He changed his clothes, he still took out a few small flowers from the collar of his head. Broken flowers, yellow and purple, look like they were picked by the roadside.

As soon as He Xichao guessed, he knew that the fool would definitely not be able to buy flowers, so he asked the guards to go to the suburbs to pick them up.

What kind of flowers and plants can the five big and three thick men have, and all the colored ones will be picked off regardless of their size.

After walking around him, He Xichao looked back at the pile of flowers and plants on the ground before leaving. Some of the roots were still hanging.

What a fool.

He Xichao couldn't help but want to laugh whenever he thought of where this idiot was now, bumping his head in annoyance and smoking like a fool.

And Xia He did hear his laughter, she looked at the wild flowers, and complimented: "Although I have not seen the grand occasion of the parade, the sisters who took leave today went to see it. There are huge crowds of people on both sides of the street. If you can't squeeze in, you just watch all kinds of flowers throwing at the young master, and there are many young ladies, the young master is really welcome."

He Xichao bent her lips and didn't care, "Where's my mother?"

He Xichao was a little surprised why his son won the number one prize and why he didn't see her.

Xia He said: "Auntie didn't come out of the room, Chun Xiang said she seemed to be crying."

"I gonna go see."

He Xichao pushed the door and found that the room was not locked, so he walked in directly, and sure enough, several sobs came over.

"Mom, what's the matter with you?"

Li Yuechan kept crying, and He Xichao walked into the inner room to take a look, and couldn't help sighing.

His mother was weeping in a green cloth dress, which obviously did not belong to him.

"My son has already told my father in the ancestral hall. He must be happy. Why are you still crying?" Sitting behind Li Yuechan, He Xichao comforted her by patting her back.

Li Yuechan turned her head, her red and swollen tear-filled eyes were full of sadness, her lips trembled slightly and said, "I, I'm just happy... I can't help it..." After speaking, tears silently flowed down both sides of her cheeks.

He Xichao: "..."

He hugged Li Yuechan over, let her lean on his shoulder and said: "My son has grown up and his shoulders have become thicker. I will protect you from now on when my father is gone. From now on, our life will get better and better. Don't I’m crying, it’s such a happy day, it makes me sad to see it.”

His fingers brushed against Li Yuechan's eyes, and tears came back.

Li Yuechan nodded heavily, smiling through tears, "Your father has always said that you are better at studying than him, and now he has his wish." She wiped the tears on her face, held her son's hand, and said, "Xi Chao, Fortunately, there is you, mother is useless in this life, what can I do for you?"

He Xichao shook his head, "You don't need to help me, as long as you live happily, I can do many things without any worries."

"Listen to you." After crying, Li Yuechan felt relieved. She looked at her handsome son with eyebrows and eyes, and the more she looked at her, the more she looked at him. Her clear eyes looked at He Xichao and said, "The princess will enter the door next year. What about you? You are now the number one scholar, no worse than Ming Rui, should the Duke also make plans for you?"

When mentioning marriage, He Xichao couldn't help but feel helpless, "Mother, it's still early."

"It's early, it's not settled right away, we have to see a few more people, and when we get married next year, we will be seventeen when we get married the next year. It's just right. Sigh, mother is not good, let your auntie take care of you, Mother will definitely not hold you back this time, just stay in An Yunxuan in peace, and do whatever you ask me to do!"

A woman in the inner house is either a husband or a son. When a son grows up, marrying a wife is the top priority. Now Li Yuechan's eyes are fixed on He Xichao's wife candidate.

"Mother has inquired about it. Although the eldest princess is noble, her biological mother has passed away, and there is no one from her mother's family, so she can't bring anything. Xi Chao, if you can marry a girl like the Duke of Liang's mansion, you can also surpass her."

He Xichao twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at Li Yuechan who had a lot of fighting spirit, and said in his heart that he was quite competitive and stayed in the inner house, did you know that?

That being the case... He Xichao thought for a moment, held Li Yuechan's hand, and said solemnly: "Mother, you know that sons are always strong. Even if I marry a wife, I will definitely marry the best one. Even if it is status, I can't lower it to the princess."

"Ah?" Li Yuechan was stunned, "Which girl can be more noble than a princess?"

He Xichao smiled slightly, but didn't answer, but said: "Think about it slowly, don't stay in the room if your son is admitted as the No. [-] scholar today, all the servants in An Yunxuan deserve a reward, you decide."

Today's Wei Guogong is also elated and smiling.

The He family has been in trouble for a hundred years, and finally there is a descendant who can read, the number one scholar, I dare not even think about it.

Moreover, He Xichao, the youngest Sanyuan Jidi in history, will definitely be recorded in the annals of history, and the He family will also have a place for it.

As He Xichao's grandfather, how can I add a word, right?

The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and he couldn't help telling He Xiang: "Go to An Yunxuan, let Xi Chao rest for a while, and later, come to the palace with the old man for a banquet."

Starting today, He Xichao finally had a place in the palace banquet.

The Qionglin Banquet is a banquet held for new scholars. It is a manifestation of the emperor's grace, and it is intended to encourage scholars all over the world.

Before the auspicious time came, Jinshi arrived one after another. Unexpectedly, the King of England came earlier and waited at the gate of Xiyuan without entering.

People came to salute him one after another, Xiao Hong waved his hands, "No courtesy, no courtesy, go in quickly, don't worry about me."

Who was Xiao Hong waiting for, of course He Xichao was the only one, he made an oolong today, his surprise turned into a fright, he almost made He Xichao make a fool of himself in public, he was really sorry, so he waited at the door, wanting to make an early accompaniment.

Unexpectedly, He Zhuangyuan had many affairs and came late, Xiao Hong didn't wait for He Xichao, but he waited for his younger brothers first.

Almost as soon as Xiao Yi saw him, he immediately greeted him with a smile, "Brother, where did you pick those flowers, such a big basket, isn't it easy?"

"The accuracy is really good, not a single blade of grass fell on the model and Tanhua, I admire you." Xiao Ming said mockingly.

Xiao Hong's face darkened, "Xiao Yu's big mouth..."

"Hey, it's really not what he said, there are so many people, under the watchful eyes of everyone, it has spread all over the place. Brother, I wonder if He Xichao is in the way of your eyes, take this opportunity to vent your anger?" Xiao Yi touched Chin, said seriously.

Xiao Ming sneered, "The ladies all over the capital are dispatched, and the elder brother is still a bachelor."

"Oh?" Xiao Yi smashed his fist into the palm of his hand, and suddenly realized, "So that's it! Also, as a subordinate, how can you be more attractive to girls than your elder brother? Although He Xichao is more handsome than you in appearance, better in talent than you, and looks more elegant than you ... Girls should like him more, but even if the elder brother is a rough man, that's not okay, it's so heartbreaking!"

Xiao Hong's eyelids twitched, and his nose was crooked angrily. Looking at these two people, he glanced at me and said coldly, "Don't talk nonsense to me. I said Xiao Yi'er, but I just got engaged. Marry and come in, what are you talking about? Believe it or not, brother, I am so jealous that I tried to interfere with your good affairs, so that you can be single with me? And Xiao Minger, you don’t know who your wife is, so you dare to marry me. Are you kidding me? Elder brother, if I don’t want to inquire about it, whoever’s parents are ugly will stuff it in your place?”

As soon as Xiao Hong said this, the two of them fell silent.

Today's Xiao Hong is not what he used to be, and this person is very careless, no matter what he thinks he can do, think about it, don't offend him because of his quick tongue.

"Come on, don't you two like to get close to those scholars the most? You're all squatting inside, hurry up, and don't be an eyesore in front of me." Xiao Hong didn't bother to break up with these two people, so he dismissed them directly.

All right, Xiao Yi and Xiao Ming left.

However, just two steps away, Xiao Hong stopped them again, "Wait."

Xiao Yi turned around wonderingly, "Brother, is there anything else?"

I saw Xiao Hong straightened his clothes, dusted off his boa robe, adjusted his crown, pulled his neckline, finally stood up straight, and asked with the most decent smile: "Am I handsome enough, handsome enough?" , isn't it perfect?"

ah?Both of them looked puzzled.

Xiao Hong glanced at the distance, and urged: "Speak, is there anything wrong?

"No, it's good."

As soon as Xiao Yi finished speaking, Xiao Hong raised his hand like chasing away a fly, "Okay, then hurry up and get out."

After speaking, he strode towards the figures of an old man and a young man in the distance.

He Xichao is here.

He Xichao was not really angry with Xiao Hong, this idiot's brain circuit is always a little different from others, as a normal person, he has to be considerate.

"Xi Chao, didn't it hurt you?" Xiao Hong regretted it as soon as he poured the flowers down.

He Xichao shook his head, "No, but aren't you afraid that there will be stones in it, hitting my bag all over the head?"

If it weren't for the people coming and going here, Xiao Hong really wanted to cry bitterly and hug He Xichao's thigh to repent deeply, but now he can only follow him with a smile and apologize, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was only patronizing jealousy back then. , didn’t think so much.”

"envy?"

"Yeah, do you know how many girls are crying and wanting to marry you? And Xiao Yu's younger sister, they can throw flowers to you, of course I can too, and I throw more flowers than them!"

Resolutely defend his position as the wife!

It's childishly cute.

He Xichao smiled slightly, tugged on Xiao Hong's lapel casually, let it go calmly, and reminded: "Then you have to figure out how to help me refuse later."

Xiao Hong was puzzled, "Reject what?"

"I am fifteen years old, a recent champion, with both talent and appearance, a prominent family background, a bright future, and no marriage. Do you think the emperor has the urge to secure a matchmaker and send me a double happiness?"

As He Xichao spoke, he put his hands behind his back and walked leisurely, leaving the King behind.

Xiao Hong was stunned.

He Xichao, the No. [-] scholar, was too dazzling. Sitting there, even if he didn't say a word, just drinking wine or having tea, all kinds of eyes would look at him.

Xiao Hong traced the source of his gaze, there were relatives of the emperor, all officials and important ministers, and his heart was instantly shattered.

This is too popular!

Suddenly Emperor Tiangan asked Wei Guogong with a smile: "I don't know if Wei Guogong has an engagement for the number one scholar in the current department?"

When Wei Guogong heard this, he was planning to give a marriage!Immediately stood up happily and replied: "Reporting to the emperor, because Xi Chao was young and devoted himself to studying, he was never engaged."

"Okay." Emperor Tiangan nodded with a smile, "Then how about I guarantee a matchmaker for our No. [-] Scholar, and a double happiness?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

"no!"

Before Wei Guogong finished thanking Long En, he heard a firm objection.

The loudness of the voice and the decisiveness of the attitude made all the voices come to an abrupt end like a broken string.

Qionglin was silent at the banquet, and everyone looked over, but unexpectedly it was the King of England.

Even He Xichao, who was holding a teacup, looked at him in surprise.

Xiao Hong blurted it out subconsciously, but after he said it, his heart arose.

Because I haven't figured out why yet!

Xiao Hong actually objected, Emperor Tiangan was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he asked: "Hong'er, why?"

why why?

That's naturally why the person your son likes can marry him a wife!

Xiao Hong shouted from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

"Hong'er?" Emperor Tiangan asked again.

Xiao Hong was so anxious that the tip of his nose was sweating faintly, and his mind went blank.

He Xichao put down his teacup, sighed inwardly, and was about to get up to explain his words for him, when Xiao Hong suddenly had a quick wit and said domineeringly: "My son is a bachelor, how can he walk ahead of me!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Hong suddenly calmed down.

He simply overbearing to the end, "Father, the second brother and the third brother can't wait, I can't just stay behind Xi Chao. We agreed at the beginning that he has to wait for me."

Emperor Tiangan frowned, he glanced at He Xichao, and felt that Xiao Hong's actions hurt his feelings a bit.

He Xichao then got up, clapped his hands and said gently: "Your Majesty, I have an agreement with Your Highness that I will not marry before Your Highness. Besides, I really can't bear Your Highness's loneliness and being a monster in secret. Otherwise, another basket of flowers will be thrown down, but it will be too late." I can't take it anymore."

At the end, his expression was a little helpless, but his tone was playful, even indulgent and indulgent, "Anyway, I'm three years younger than him, so don't worry."

And Xiao Hong's prank this time he didn't take it to heart.

Speaking of the flowers in this frame, some people didn't know what they were referring to, but after being explained by others, they were immediately dumbfounded.

It is said that the King of England does things absurdly and has no scruples, but I did not expect this to be the case.

Based on Emperor Tiangan's understanding of his son, this kind of thing can really be done by a brat!

He raised his chin while looking at me, and he did it with a face like this king, what can he do to Xiao Hong with me, it really hurts his head.

And this person is not conscious yet, still winking at He Xichao.

And He Xichao just pursed his lips and smiled, quite tolerant towards him, as if he was used to it.

Finally Emperor Tiangan shook his head and sighed: "Xi Chao, it's really not easy for you to endure this kid for nine years."

Xiao Hong pouted unhappily, but did not refute.

However, he said in his heart, it is not only nine years, but a lifetime.

He Xichao said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness is sincere and treats people with sincerity. This is not a bad thing. Xichao also has many willful things, Your Highness never cares about it."

"Okay, I can only wrong you." As long as the two didn't have any conflicts, Emperor Tiangan felt relieved.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

Saying that, He Xichao looked at Xiao Hong, who was also looking at him, and smiled acquaintancely.
